We had to go to town to get gas for the little lawn mower anyway so today, we made a point of visiting the Boxing Rock Brewing Company. The Brewery is new to Shelburne and a definite must see place. You turn off the Ohio Road and onto a long driveway. At the side of the drive is this fantastic old boat:
Then further up the drive you come upon the building which is the large brewery connected to this smaller, storefront. The same nice girl who sold me the Growler at the Saturday market was there to help us with our refill this afternoon.

After our beer selection was made, we looked at the T Shirts and also the Boxing Rock baseball cap that they sell. We have a tradition of Bar and Brew T shirts in our family. Bar logo T Shirts are always unique and make great gifts and souvenirs. Dan mostly, but Lisa, too, had more T Shirts from different establishments before either were legal drinking age. The Boxing Rock T's are exceptional quality and made in Canada, too! Plus, the manufacturer gives a percentage of the T Shirt purchase help people in need in Africa.
Of course, if you cannot make it to the Brewery, then at least have a beer. This is yet another good reason to visit us one summer day in Shelburne!
And finally, from the Boxing Rock website I learned how they got their name:
According to local Folklore, Boxing Rock is where bickering seamen were left by their captain to sort out their differences. The choice: box until only one would return to the ship or shake hands and share a beer.
Either way, there's only a few short hours until high tide . . .
We say drink up.
